DRONE VIDEO ONLINE Wanna see through the eyes of a Predator drone? Soon, all you may need is a web browser.MITRE, a not-for-profit group that handles a fair amount of Defense Department research, has been testing out a system that makes online accessible video from the Predator and Global Hawk unmanned spy planes. So far, MITRE has only worked with archived footage. But the idea is to get the shots in something approaching real time.That's not going to happen without Defense Department involvement, however. And so far, the Pentagon hasn't sunk any money into the project. MITRE is hoping to get such funding soon.
